London theatre reviews

Touches of humour pepper a well-wrought production, offering a rare chance to see Juan Radrigán's affecting and still relevant work.

Some will undoubtedly find unsettling notes here, but this play is, nonetheless, enthralling, emotionally-charged and unmissable storytelling at its singular best.

A clever, intelligently-crafted play which proves highly successful thanks to tight and skilled direction, matched by enjoyable performances from an exceptionally capable cast.

Even if there's considerable appeal in the setting and technical aspects of this production (and in Molière's play itself) it never takes us beyond the realms of rather middling farce.

The weaknesses inherent in the composition and execution of the drama leave many questions unanswered and the overall, disappointing impression of a lost opportunity.
